'The board game adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune, first published 40 years ago and long out of print, is back. '
'It pretty much seems that’s all he did through university was play Dune.“But he just loved the classic game. '
'Originally titled Frank Herbert’s Dune, the game was first published by The Avalon Hill Game Company in 1979. '
'So he said, ‘Why don’t we just bring the classic game out together?’ So we went, asked [the Herbert estate]. '
'The system was so highly regarded that a community of fans has grown up around it online, collecting and trading copies and ephemera related to the board game. '
